It's good news! Sorry for the silly question, but is it usual to send a royal couple to a tour in countries that has already been visited just one year earlier by another couple of the royal family?

It's happened several times before, so it is quite usual.

Let us not forget, Charles is the heir to the throne, and in line to become the next King of both Aus & NZ. It is only natural that his wife and he visit regularly, irrespective of trips other members of the family may have made.

Thank you to both of you... Obviously it was a silly question from my part

Great news. I met them during their last visit in 2012. The Duchess of Cornwall was absolutely delightful. I hope I can get to see her again.

Not a silly question at all. I too can't fathom why they are coming...again!
We do have a royal lover in our Prime Minister Tony Abbot though. I imagine he is the reason we are spending so much money on the English royals.
November is a good month to visit. Sun, not too hot, not cold. Perhaps Mr Abbot wants to advertise Australia to the English as a great country to migrate to?

Well, let me extend our invitation to you to come and visit them down under. You would be most welcome! And OK, it would help pay for their visit too.

Darn it! if only you were an English royal, our Prime Minister would be happy to give you a five star, all expenses paid visit.
Hope one day you do have the opportunity to visit. It is a beautiful country, just as beautiful as yours but very different.

A number of posts discussing Australia as a republic/etc for the hundredth time have been moved to the http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...-etc-7152.html thread.
This thread will be closed until closer to November to prevent it from being filled with repetitive discussion.

I didn't think of that. My first thought was she's spending time at that fantabulous health retreat that she loves to go to. She always comes away from that looking radiant.
